Why not try something like Pebble linux from
http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble
=20
It is a stripped down Debian install that is aimed at running a wireless
hotspot but it is just Debian and you can install whatever you want. It
fits on a 64MB flash card but if you install almost anything you will
want a 128MB one. It does come with iptables and iproute2 tools as I
recall.

Subject: [LARTC] small kernel distro recommendations for QoS box
Hello All.=20
I've built some boxes for QoS that work wonderfully. Much thanks to
everyone's work on this project. Citrix + Videoconferencing are working
great.=20
Thing is, I'd really like to not rely on the old 4GB drives in these
machines. I would like to build a kernel small enough to put on a 32 or
64 MB flash (compressed). Fedora Core 1, minimal install + bridge-utils
is still around 500 MB (will probably be about 1/3 that compressed).=20
TIA=20
